The documents describe transitioning the park service to a new \u201chub and spoke\u201d model, with some \u201chub\u201d parks given the power to manage priorities, leadership and direction for \u201cspoke\u201d parks that would report them, according to the documents.<\/p><p>Currently park superintendents report to regional leadership. While the regional system will remain in place, the draft documents indicate that Interior intends for power to be centralized in the \u201chub\u201d parks: They would direct priorities and vision, while \u201cspoke\u201d parks would be responsible for implementation.<\/p><p>The documents also indicate that the park service intends for resources to be shared more widely between the spoke and hub parks, with the hub carrying more responsibility for the management of those resources. (The draft plans included a visual representation of the reorganization created with Anthropic\u2019s Claude AI tool, according to an internal note in one of the documents.)<\/p>\n<p>The new organization is intended to \u201cbuild a more efficient and effective operation, optimize resource sharing across parks and programs, and enhance accountability and supervision,\u201d the draft documents read.<\/p><p>The Interior Department did not respond to a request for comment.<\/p><p>Details of the plan are still subject to change, according to the documents and people familiar with the plans. The Interior executive said last week a career official overseeing the effort introduced a new framework for bureaus to use to rearrange themselves. Previous deadlines were pushed back or removed altogether.<\/p><p>Rachel Borra, Interior\u2019s human resources chief, who previously helped spearhead layoffs at the department last fall that were ultimately blocked in federal court, has been meeting with management in recent weeks to go over details of the various \u201crealignments,\u201d according to documents reviewed by NOTUS. She is scheduled to hold a progress meeting on realignment efforts on Tuesday.<\/p><p>Changes at National Parks could have disparate impacts, where functions range from the preservation of natural wonders in Yellowstone to the protection of rare ecosystems in Channel Islands to the preservation of historical and cultural memory at Valley Forge. While currently superintendents are largely responsible for ensuring that mission is met within their individual park, the new structure appears to centralize some management with the \u201chub\u201d superintendent.<\/p><p>That centralization could come at the cost of each individual park\u2019s needs, former officials said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s remarkable from A to Z how different units in the National Park Service are and how they have to adapt to location conditions, and that can drive people in D.C. crazy because they really like it when everything fits in neat boxes,\u201d said Jeff Mow, the former superintendent of Glacier National Park and a 40-year veteran of the Park Service. \u201cAnd there\u2019s a whole lot about the National Park Service that doesn\u2019t fit into neat boxes.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cAny time you see these top-down initiatives come through \u2014 almost never in my career did I ever see one that can encompass the diversity within the organization,\u201d he continued.<\/p><p>Russell Galipeau, who served as superintendent of Channel Islands National Park for 15 years, said that it is already difficult for the country\u2019s smaller and lesser-known parks to advocate on behalf of their needs and priorities.<\/p><p>\u201cWe want to reorganize. We want to make things more efficient. You know what? We can do all those things, but how is that actually helping us be a leader and setting an example of how we protect our nation\u2019s natural and cultural resources?\u201d he asked.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/?p=3718\">Trump Threatens Canadian Jetmaker With Extensive U.S. Footprint<\/a><\/p><p>The draft documents detailing the agency\u2019s reorganization plans were not meant to be made public and stress the importance of delivering information to employees and stakeholders on the department\u2019s own timeline.<\/p><p>While Interior in its internal communications insisted its plans represented common-sense solutions, declining to fully rule out layoffs, phrasing such as \u201creducing duplication\u201d and demands that supervisors \u201cnot speculate about effects on specific employees,\u201d coupled with previous efforts to slash staff and ongoing hiring restrictions, are likely to have staff and public lands advocates on edge about the administration\u2019s intentions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNational parks do not operate in a bubble, they are intrinsic parts of local communities. And if this proposed reorganization plan moves forward, it is going to jeopardize park relationships with communities, stakeholders, and partners,\u201d said Emily Thompson, the executive director of the Coalition to Protect America\u2019s National Parks.<\/p><div>\n<\/div><p>The documents also lay out details of how individual offices within NPS are set to be restructured. The agency tentatively plans to remake its culture and science division into an office called Resource Stewardship. Employees have raised concerns that the administration would seek to de-emphasize its scientific and cultural work. A new Law Enforcement, Safety and Health Division would replace a Visitor and Resource Protection office.<\/p><p>The agency has been planning how to announce this reorganization since July 2026 but has not yet notified Congress of its intention to reorganize, according to the documents and a Senate aide. The Interior Department is legally obligated to notify Congress of any planned reorganization.<\/p><p>The secrecy of these plans have frustrated advocates, former officials and current staffers alike.<\/p><p>\u201cThis reorganization could fundamentally change how our national parks operate, without any clear communication about what \u2018problem\u2019 might be solved. It can\u2019t possibly be addressing budgets or efficiency,\u201d Thompson said. \u201cThere are going to be countless issues and challenges involving park funding, travel and other logistics \u2014 this will waste taxpayer dollars and further contribute to the chaos that already exists.\u201d<\/p><p>The implementation of the plan has already changed in at least one regard from the schedule laid out in documents obtained by NOTUS: While planning meetings were scheduled with senior officials for this week and superintendents for the middle of September, those meetings have been canceled, according to multiple sources familiar with the change. NPS planned to begin implementing the changes this year, though it is not clear if that timeline remains operative.<\/p>\n<p>The Interior Department intensified its reorganization process in early 2026, with upper management telling leadership at each bureau that the dramatic staffing reductions opened the door to rethink how they are organized. At least at some bureaus, internal leadership maintained autonomy in developing plans and new organizational structures. They then worked with the Office of Personnel Management on implementation of those ideas.<\/p><p>Department officials made clear to individual bureau leadership that \u201cThis is the time to take a big swing,\u201d the Interior executive said.<\/p><p>While Interior was on the verge of laying off thousands of employees at multiple points last year, they never took effect due to various court orders. The department still successfully upended some parts of its workforce. Last month, top agency officials reassigned more than two dozen of its top career executives, requiring many people to move into new jobs with limited relationship to their background and expertise.<\/p><p>The Park Service has already been \u201cbleeding,\u201d both because Burgum directed national park resources toward D.C. beautification efforts and because of last year\u2019s reorganization, said one current employee. Bureaus across Interior are still paying Burgum\u2019s office to house employees it subsumed as part of that reorganization, employees said.<\/p><p>Through the renewed reorganization efforts, Burgum is continuing to exert his influence over the shape of the department. He has already merged the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management and Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement, undoing a change under former President Barack Obama. The secretary has also merged all the department\u2019s firefighters into a new component over some bipartisan reservations from Congress.<\/p><p>Between those changes and the staffing losses from the Trump administration\u2019s push to reduce the federal workforce, advocates are already concerned what another round of changes will portend.<\/p><p>\u201cWe find a way to say it\u2019s more efficient, and what we end up doing is finding out we have less and less resources to work with,\u201d Galipeau said.<\/p><p>\u201cPerhaps reorganization wouldn\u2019t be necessary if these unnecessary cuts weren\u2019t made.\u201d<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/?p=3716\">Down in Dallas<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All Interior Department bureaus are considering major shake-ups under an edict from leadership.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3720,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3721","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-agencies"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
